And why not? With two super-Gs being snowed out last weekend in Russia, Shiffrin still holds the lead in the season-long super-G competition, despite having raced only three times. Granted, she\u2019s 3-for-3, winning in Lake Louise, Alberta; St. Moritz, Switzerland; and Cortina, Italy, in super-Gs.<\/p>\n<p>With the caveat that her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaildaily.com\/news\/vails-mikaela-shiffrin-wins-super-g-vonn-crashes-at-worlds\/\">FIS Alpine World Ski Championships gold in super-G<\/a> doesn\u2019t count toward World Cup points, Shiffrin can add to her globe collection \u2014 she\u2019s already won the overall and the slalom this season.<\/p>\n<p>In the season standings, Shiffrin has 300 points, followed by Lichetenstein\u2019s Tina Weirather (268), Austria\u2019s Nicole Schmidhofer (253) and Norway\u2019s Ragnhild Mowinckel (247). With 100 points awarded for a World Cup win, these three are the only ones who can catch Shiffrin for the lead and the globe.<\/p>\n<p>World Cup finals have a different format than regular races on the circuit. Only the top 25 racers in the discipline start and just the top 15 score, as opposed to 30 in a full field. If Shiffrin finishes second or better, she\u2019ll clinch the super-G globe, regardless of how Weirather, Schmidhofer and Mowinckel do. Obviously, the permutations multiply if Shiffrin finishes in different places.<\/p>\n<p>All of this adds up to a busy finale for Shiffrin to the World Cup season. In addition to two tech races in the Czech Republic Friday and Saturday, she\u2019ll compete in the super-G on March 14, the slalom on March 16 and GS on March 17 in Andorra.<\/p>\n<p>And on March 13, she turns 24 years old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaildaily.com\/news\/vails-mikaela-shiffrin-may-run-super-g-next-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Vail Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upon further review, three-time defending World Cup champion Mikaela Shiffrin may be spicing things up next week at the World Cup finals in Soldeu, Andorra.
